I've been looking at a newer car recently. What something like a Golf, Leon Cupra, A3, Focus ST, or an Astra VXR. So that sort of size. Not sure what one tho on a budget of approx 15k.
As for MG's. All the trouble Fred's had with his, need i say more...

Sippo, why not just go for a 307 2.0 HDI if you want a diesel.
I saw a minter, 2005 model at that car place on the A419 at lower blunsdon. Only £8500.

Fair enough.
Get a Leon Cupra then, same engine as the Golf but a few grand cheaper.

Magic, don't touch Rover/MG cars.
No offence to Fred or anything, just don't do it.
Stick to German or Jap cars for trouble free motoring.
